Flatcar Kit
The following photos were provided by David Hannah III. This 1890's era flatcar kit was produced by Jim's Railway Hardware Company. David said the kit was very well made and easy to put together. They were about 5-1/2 feet long. The kits had pre-fabricated cherry wood beams, with the dado work already done. Jim provided plenty of hardware detail.
